A small studios - with big ambitions! Short Films were made here from before World War One, but it was really the boom of the British cinema industry in the 1950s that was the making of the studio. Their most successful series of films were made at this time - the half hour Scotland Yard series. Numerous B films were also made here. TV competition finally forced closure in 1967. There were two sound stages at the South Wimbledon studios at 269 Kingston Road. Telephone LIBerty 4291. If you worked at the studios I'd be extremely pleased to hear your Memories. In 1955, the studio manager was Simon Kershaw. In 1964, the directors were K Lockhart Smith (chairman), AT Burlinson and Jack Greenwood (joint managing directors), Nat Cohen and Stuart Levy.
